Which word means to become tired or exhausted?

Fatigued
Invigorated
Energized
Refresh

The correct answer is: Fatigued

The term "fatigued" specifically refers to a state of being tired or exhausted, both physically and mentally. It captures the feeling of depletion of energy, due to prolonged exertion or stress. This makes it the appropriate choice for defining a condition of tiredness. In contrast, the other words carry positive connotations related to energy and rejuvenation. "Invigorated" refers to feeling energized and revitalized, while "energized" denotes a state of having increased energy and vitality. The word "refresh" typically implies rejuvenation or restoration, almost suggesting a return to a state of full energy. None of these alternatives align with the concept of tiredness or exhaustion, establishing "fatigued" as the clear and contextually accurate answer.
